11 movies to check out on Prime Video this March

Got Road House? This month Amazon’s Prime Video has two versions of the action movie: the 1989 original starring Patrick Swayze at peak Swayze-ness and the 2024 Doug Liman-directed remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a UFC middleweight fighter working as a bouncer at a roadhouse in the Florida Keys. Other new arrivals in the Prime Video library this March include the recent horror blockbuster Five Nights At Freddy’s, based on the video game series of the same name, Neil Jordan’s neo-noir crime thriller Marlowe starring Liam Neeson and Jessica Lange, the Peter Farrelly comedy Ricky Stanicky starring Zac Efron and John Cena, the new documentary Frida, about Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, plus catalog titles such as Desperately Seeking Susan, What Lies Beneath, Sleepy Hollow, Waterworld, and more.

Sleepy Hollow (1999, available March 1)

represents Tim Burton’s only straightforward horror movie to date. Yes, there are moments of humor from Johnny Depp as jittery New York City police constable Ichabod Crane, but this atmospheric adaptation of Washington Irving’s “The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow” has some genuinely frightening moments as the Headless Horseman decapitates numerous victims in the foggy Dutch hamlet. Sleepy Hollow won the Academy Award for Best Art Direction and deserves a second look from those who dismissed it upon its initial release for not being as whimsical as Burton fans expected. The gothic horror gem also stars Christina Ricci, Miranda Richardson, Michael Gambon, Casper Van Dien, and Jeffrey Jones.
